Book Description
Do you believe it's "her body, her choice"? What if she's your daughter, and she has her eye on the wrong guy? Molly is 16 and David is twice that. She's coping with her notoriously sexual artist mother, but will face much worse after a drunken teenage party. He's just lost his wife and daughter and is racked by survivor's guilt. Will their unexpectedly tender connection help them survive their individual traumas — or just make them worse? Set in 1977 in a small New England town, this provocative coming-of-age novel explores the nature of desire, and asks: Is there ever a time when doing the wrong thing might be exactly right?

Vision and Character
Author: Eike Kronshage
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351232010
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
As readers, we develop an impression of characters and their settings in a novel based on the author’s description of their physical characteristics and surroundings. This process, known as physiognomy, can be seen throughout history including in the English Realist novels of the 19th and 20th centuries. Vision and Character: Physiognomics and the English Realist Novel offers a study into the physiognomics and aesthetics as presented by some of the best known authors in this genre, like Virginia Woolf, Joseph Conrad, Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. In this highly original approach to the issues of representation, visuality and aesthetics in the nineteenth-century realist novel, and even the question of literary interpretation, Eike Kronshage argues that physiognomics has enabled writers to access their characters’ inner lives without interfering in an authoritative way.
